Bvlgari & MB&F Reimagine the Iconic Serpenti

Collaborations in watchmaking often bring together the creativity of a brand and its chosen partner, whether they be artists, athletes, or designers. However, it’s far rarer to see two well-known watchmaking powerhouses join forces. The partnership between Bvlgari and MB&F is a fascinating case, as both brands serve as creative forces in the industry with anything they put their hands on. 

Their latest collaboration, the Bvlgari x MB&F Serpenti, follows their 2021 partnership, which resulted in the MB&F x Bvlgari LM FlyingT Allegra launched at Dubai Watch Week. This time, the two brands reinterpret Bvlgari’s iconic Serpenti through the mechanical artistry of MB&F’s horological machines, merging biomorphic design with high-complication watchmaking in a way that only they can.

Pivots

Pivots are small cylindrical components that serve as bearings or shafts for the rotating elements in a watch movement. They are typically manufactured from durable materials such as steel or precious metals to withstand continuous friction and wear in the watch's mechanism. Pivots play a crucial role in facilitating smooth performance of gears, wheels, and levers within the movement by providing a stable and low-friction rotation point.
